Braiding Garlic
Garden Therapy was so lucky to have local author, speaker, and organic gardening expert, Carolyn Herriot, drop by with a great Fall project from her book, The Zero-Mile Diet: A Year-Round Guide to Growing Organic Food (Harbour Publishing). She shared with us an easy way to braid garlic with herbs for a beautiful display.

Garlic is not only a delicious herb used in cooking. It can also serve as a great looking display when paired with fresh herbs in your home.
Today, Carolyn is going to share how to braid dry garlic for a beautiful look in your kitchen. To begin, you will lay three clean dry stalks of garlic with the foilage facing toward you.
If you have been following along on Garden Therapy, we have shown you how to plant and harvest and cook with garlic.

Tie the braid off above the last fold, leaving string for hanging.
Visit the blog for full braiding instructions and how to add multiple stalks of garlic into your braid.

When you have braided the last garlic bulb, you will continue braiding the foilage, as well.

You can do it with hardneck too, as long as it isn't completely dry yet!
